This Week…An Old Favorite for Thanksgiving
This week, when I was making the greys disappear, my hairdresser mentioned her favorite side dish for Thanksgiving. Squash casserole!
It was a favorite of mine that my mother and grandmother made. I haven’t made it in years, so I’m dusting it off for this Thanksgiving. I’ve altered it a bit, but as in any savory dish, you can do whatever you want to it!!!
Easy Squash Casserole
4 Medium yellow squash
Salt & Pepper (to taste)
½ tsp salt/1/4 tsp pepper
1 cup milk (or even better, heavy whipping cream
1 egg
1 tsp sugar
Sliced black olives (optional)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (4 -8 oz)
1 cup cracker crumbs/bread crumbs/or Panko crumbs
Slice the squash, Boil in salted water and drain well. Place in a bowl and mash. Add milk or heavy whipping cream, 1 egg beaten, sugar and if you want, black olives. Add the egg mixture to the squash.
Place the mixture in a greased casserole dish. Cover the squash with more cheese and bread crumbs.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes until the squash is set.
Enjoy
